IMPROVEMENT IN WINDOW BRACKETS AND SHELVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,207, dated June 16, 1574 application tiled February 19, 1874.

, of this speciiication.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a bracket to be attached to a window-sash for supporting a shelf for flower-pots, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and usc the same, I will nor proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring` to the annexed drawing, in which- A represents a vertical bar of any suitable dimensions, provided at its upper end with a short arm, B, extending toward the rear at right angles. At the front end of the arm B is hinged an arm, C, and at theouter end of this arm is hinged a brace, l). At the lower end ot' the brace D is formed or attached au upward and inward projecting hook, a, which is to catch upon a hook, b, formed on or attached to the vertical bar A. The hook b is at such a height on the bar A that when thc brace D is hooked in the same the arm C will be on a line with the stationary arm B that is, at right angles with the bar A, or in a horizontal position. The bar A is to be placed against the side rail of the lower windowsash, the arm B resting upon the top rail thereof, and fastened by a single brad or short nail. One of these brackets being on cach side, a shelf may be supported upon the arms c c, to receive iiower-pots. This bracket may be adjusted and used at any other places where it can be applied.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claiin as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The bar A, provided at its top with stationary arm B, and upon its lower side with hook I), in combination with hinged arm G and hinged brace D, all constructed and arranged as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own invention, I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
